Superior Light English

Product: John Cotton's Number 1 1.75oz

Sampled this at the West Coast Show. I'm not a fan of English blends, but this one was really good. For me it's a perfect balance of Virginia, Latakia, and Oriental. A nice flavor profile of some sweet fruity notes from the Virginias with a bit of h... Read More
ay, some spice from the Oriental, and a nice smokey earthy flavor from the Latakia. I'd recommend this blend if you're branching out to English blends or if you're looking for a nice all day English blend. Read Less

Taste is mild to medium and consistent/inconsistent, with notes of herbal sweet, spice, tangy, lemon grass, mildly acidic, wood, bready, floral, orange peel, musty fermented vegetation, dry sour, mildly spicy, incense, a tart citrus zesty background note, and a moderate peppery retro.

The Virginia and orientals are front and center with a nice, warm almost buttery flavor. While the latakia adds a nice mellow smoky background. Great smoke!!

What Bradley H. said. Of my varied mixtures, I find myself dipping into this perfectly balanced blend 2 to 1 over anything else. Can't imagine not having such a great smoke around.
